Chapter 255
The song is slow, smiling.Xiangren is really pitiful.Xianyuan is fortunate to have a place to hide spring, so why not ride the wind and chase away the dust of the world.

……

The Dugu old man took a sip of tea, calmed down, and continued to speak: "After returning to Luoyang, I ordered people to search for the whereabouts of the eldest brother, but after many inquiries, there has been no news.

Later, Empress Wu proclaimed the regime and slaughtered Li Tang's clan wantonly. The Dugu family and Changsun family and other aristocratic families who supported Li Tang's clan were also included in the purge.

The family elders and I were exhausted in protecting the family, and we were devastated, so the matter of finding the eldest brother was put on hold.

At that time, the cruel officials Lai Jun and his ministers were powerful and rampant, coveting the wealth and female relatives of the Dugu family.

On that day, I was framed by Lai Junchen. Dozens of males from the Dugu family in Luoyang, no matter how old or young, were all imprisoned and imprisoned in the prison inside Lijing Gate.Luoyang Tongyan: "Jinglimen and Lijingmen, if you enter this gate, you will never return."As long as they are caught in the Lijing Gate, it will be difficult for one person in a hundred to survive.Wang Hongyi used various cruel instruments of torture to extract a confession in an attempt to fabricate evidence of the Dugu family's rebellion.

Lai Junchen made a torture tool called "Tudihou". Anyone who was put on this kind of Tudihou would have to keep turning in circles on the ground, and would soon faint.As soon as I was arrested, I was put in the shackles by Lai Junchen's henchman Wang Hongyi.

In Luoyang City, all the mansions of the Dugu family were sealed off, and the gates were guarded by heavy soldiers, who were only allowed to enter and not allowed to leave.Lai Junchen's party member Zhu Nanshan registered the names of all the female family members, and then falsely passed on Wu Zhao's imperial decree to snatch the beautiful female family members and dedicate them to Lai Junchen.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the Li Tang clan, and even Wu Zhao's most trusted figures, including the Wu family kings, Princess Taiping, and Zhang Yizhi's brothers, were frightened by Lai Junchen's despotic power and kept silent, daring not to intercede for the Dugu clan.

In the midst of severe torture and life hanging by a thread, a man with the appearance of a general entered the deep prison with the imperial decree of Wu Suo and the Imperial Guards of the North and South Yamen, demanding to release him.

At that time, Lai Junchen was full of power and killed people like hemp. Even the general Zhang Qianxu and the general's envoy Fan Yunxian were also in the Luoyang prefectural government office. They cut off their tongues and hacked to death with knives.

After receiving the order, Lai Junchen was unwilling and tried to enter the palace to face the saint.

The general didn't say much, sneered, and shot out brazenly, killing all the guards around Junchen in an instant, and then cut off Junchen's right ear with a sword, stuffed it into Junchen's mouth, and forced Junchen to chew and swallow.

After Lai Junchen was seriously injured, he relented and released all the dozens of male members of our Dugu family who were in prison.

The general helped me into the carriage and escorted me back to the mansion.Then he ordered the Imperial Guards of the North and South Yamen to protect the mansions of the Dugu family one by one, so that they would not be harassed by Lai Junchen and others.

I thought that Lai Junchen would take revenge on him and our Dugu family after suffering such a big loss.Unexpectedly, Wu Yan respected this person very much, and he was furious in the Dragon Court. In the future, Junchen will be punished fifty times.Wang Hongyi, Zhu Nanshan and others were executed with sticks on the spot.

From then on, Lai Junchen and other cruel officials dared not provoke the Dugu family, allowing the Dugu family to escape all kinds of turmoil and persecution during the Wu Zhou Dynasty safely. "

Changsun Yanxing is all too familiar with this past.The words of the old lord Dugu reminded him once again of the 14-year-long "ruthless government" horror era that had plagued the Tang Dynasty. His whole body trembled and he broke out in cold sweat.

"Who is this general?" Bai Fu asked curiously.

The old leader Dugu sighed and said: "This person who has great kindness to the Dugu family is my eldest brother Dugusu!
If it weren't for him, the Dugu family's hundreds of years of foundation would have been destroyed by Wu Yan and Lai Junchen.

On this point, let me see that the elder brother is still full of affection for the family.After all, blood is thicker than water.In view of this, I have a glimmer of hope that I can resolve the grievances between my family and my elder brother.To make up for my father's mistakes, I am willing to hand over the position of patriarch and let my eldest brother lead the Dugu family forward.

Since then, I have been asking someone to bring me a message, and I want to talk to my elder brother in detail.But he still refused to meet.

Our Dugu family is sorry for him.I wrote to him about my father's deathbed, hoping to gain his understanding.Don't let past grievances become an inextricable knot and a blood feud between families.

……

I found out later that my elder brother had gone down the mountain after studying and sneaked back home.Originally, he wanted to seek revenge from his clansmen, but he overheard his father's confession and longing for him before he died.Only then did he untie the knot in his heart, he was free from any problems, and finally entered the realm of transformation. "

……

Regarding the past events of Dugusu and the Dugu family, there are still many places that were deliberately omitted by the old lord Dugu, and the words are unclear.

Bai Fu knew that these contents involved the privacy and grievances within the Dugu family, so it was inconvenient for outsiders to know.

What Bai Fu was curious about was another secret.He asked: "Emperor Zetian loves and trusts Lai Junchen so much, how can he respect Mr. Dugu so much? Even if Mr. Dugu's martial arts is the best in the world, and he comes and goes without a trace, it will not make Emperor Zetian condescend?"

Changsun Yanxing nodded and said: "This is about a past event in the past. In the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Taibai Jinxing appeared frequently in the daytime, and Taishi divination said that the heroine will be prosperous. The folklore "Secret Records" records: "Tang After the third generation, the heroine Wu Wang will rule the world."

Emperor Taizong was particularly afraid of this prophecy, and he did not hesitate to find a reason to kill General Zuo Wuwei, the Duke of Wulian County, and Li Junxian from Wu'an County, and lost his family.Just because Li Junxian's nickname was "Wu Niang", his official title "General Zuo Wuwei" and his fief name "Wulian County Duke" both contained the word "Wu", which violated Emperor Taizong's taboo.

Emperor Taizong secretly asked Taishi Ling Li Chunfeng: "Do you believe what is said in "Secret Records"?"

The Taishi ordered Li Chunfeng to reply: "The minister looked up at the sky and looked down at the history. He is already in your Majesty's palace and is a relative. It has only been 30 years since he became the king of the world and killed all the descendants of the Tang Dynasty. The omen is done."

Emperor Taizong's face was gloomy and cold, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What will happen if you kill all suspicious similar people?"

The Taishi ordered Li Chunfeng to reply: "Heaven's orders cannot be disobeyed. Kings don't die, but disciples kill innocent people. And since the past 30 years, he has grown old, and his concubine is quite compassionate. It may be a disaster. If you want to kill them, the heavenly or strong ones will unleash their grievances, fearing that your majesty's descendants will leave no one behind."

God's orders cannot be violated by manpower.Otherwise, not only would the predestined heroine King Wu not die, but she would have killed many innocent people in vain.Besides, 30 years later, the heroine King Wu is already old, so she should have a kind of compassionate heart, and it may not be a disaster.My Datang still has room for maneuver.

The appearance of the heroine King Wu in Datang has its own reasons.If you find this person now and kill him, the heavens may regenerate a more sturdy and fierce person who will kill and pour out hatred.By that time, I am afraid that there will not be many left in my Li Tang clan.

Emperor Taizong let out a long sigh when he heard the words, and then he gave up.

Decades later, the prophecy came true, the heroine King Wu established Wu Zhou, and Wu Li became the first queen in the world. "

　The wind makes the river flow like a mirror.It was twilight on a setting sun day.Clouds return to Yuanxiu and the thousands of mountains are dark, and the fog reflects the sparse forest.

　　The fishing fire is thin and the fishing line is light.The yellow dust flutters and fights for glory.When will the world's affairs be settled, and the clear sound of the pan house kettle's wonderful music will overwhelm the city of Chu.Hui Xinlan sees tenderness.Ling Bo is known as the golden lotus step, dipping his armor and teaching jade bamboo shoots.

　　The song is slow, smiling.Xiangren is really pitiful.Xianyuan is fortunate to have a place to hide spring, so why not ride the wind and chase away the dust of the world. —— "Partridge Sky Xiangjiang Boat Zhong Ying Shu Suo Fu" Zhao Shixia (Song)
